Potentially a solid role player in the nba if he stays healthy. Set picks, grab rebounds, rim protector and catch lobs. He possibly could be a daniel gafford/walker kessler type of player.
@@charlescohen6140Ja had a whole season off and a lot of free time to repeat the same mess. I’m pretty sure we don’t have to keep bringing up his character off the court looking forward
@@rollingisofilms6047 We should all grow up at that age but many critics don’t understand that. I love to watch Ja and hope he comes back ablazing. I see the Grizzlies will be a lot better next year.
He can’t jump, he’s super slow, but he’s got the reach. He needs some serious lower body agility conditioning and ball handling development. And I agree he should focus on becoming an elite passer. People comparing him to prime Shaq are absolutely rediculous, he moves like an old man compared to prime Shaq or David Robinson. I’m willing to bet he will have a very short career plagued with injuries (for his sake I hope I’m wrong). All the best to him, he should go pro as soon as possible and stay healthy.
I like this guy, and no doubt he has talent, but what is his ceiling? Walker Kessler? JVal? Modern Cs either need to be unbelievable defenders, ie Gobert or to a lesser extent Jarrett Allen. Or playmakers that are able to score outside the paint.
It's a video about college basketball... so I would imagine it was about Kats college career?! KAT probably isn't going back to college to play ball so yeah his career was one year. Why Is one and done all the sudden not counted as playing in college? I don't get this logic.
@@george4654I would agree with Kessler. He has a very long way to go before McHale level. One of the best offensive post players ever. Unfortunately in todays NBA they don’t let bigs go to work in the post. Just get used for none stop pick a roll. I don’t think he will get the chance to develop a great post game. I hope he does though. The NBA would only get better with more great bigs.
He is a great rim protector and is 7 ft is offensive game still needs work , I don’t believe right now he can be a franchise player so if he does develop well that’s a great comp brook lopez is a very solid big , dam I hate CZcams man cause of idiots like you in comments lmao stupid mf
@@cashflowcaptainI can tell you don’t watch NBA basketball. Brook Lopez didn’t even attempt 8 threes in total until his 7th year (he went 0-7 in his first 6 seasons).
believer it or not, i grew up with him. played on sport teams with him, he used to only be a shooter. was complete dog shit anywhere else. he was also ab 5'10 at tht time nd he was prolly 13 i was 15-16. hes now 7'3". he did also pull a 3 so dont doubt it will happen eventually.
Rewind 25 years ago and insert another overhyped 7'0" UConn Center, Jake Voskuhl - a 2nd round pick that became a 10mpg journeyman in the NBA. The similarities in their skill set and gameplay are remarakable.
I see you are from Syracuse, which makes sense. You probably haven't gotten over Walker carrying UConn over Syracuse on the way to a National Championship Title. I was around for Jake and know Donovan. Jake wasn't even a star on the UConn team. He was a great utility man who was a good passer and reasonable defender for a sharp shooting UConn team. He used his National Championship to make a decent career for himself in the NBA. Donovan is much more capable. He was the MVP in the Big East Tournament and when needed can take over a game, as he did for the Regional Championship against SDS. He has great potential in the NBA, otherwise he wouldn't be a lottery pick.
A one level scorer vs a two level scorer in Zach Edey. Poor free throw percentages which indicates he ain't likely developing a 3 point stroke unlike Zach Edey with a much higher percentage. Clingan is a beast at rim protection & blocking. But so is Zach Edey. Where he bests Zach is weight which translates to his being more nimble than Zach
Lmao, talk about not understanding basketball. Neither of these dudes are shooting 3s in the NBA, not in the first 5-10 years of their career anyway. Clingan is not more nimble because he has less weight, he's just more athletic than Edey. He jumps higher, has better lateral movement, has more body control and is quicker. Most of what Edey does well doesn't translate to the NBA. He's extremely slow footed, plays at a snail's pace and his defensive contributions are due to his size and the lack of spacing in college. He can't guard pick and roll, he can't guard anyone on the perimeter, and his offense consists of only post ups. Clingan on the other hand runs the floor, can rim run, is agile defensively and can be a rim protector off of both hedge/recovery and drop coverage. Clingan may not be good enough for the NBA, but he has several identifiable skills and enough athleticism to have a good shot. Edey is a big man stuck in the past. If this was 20 years ago, Edey might have a good shot in being a good NBA contributor but in the modern NBA he's a liability.
Has no left hand, fumbles rebounds and passes. Not strong enough to play the backup center position in the nba not skilled enough to play another position
What team should draft Donovan Clingan? Let us know down below👇
OKC
Pistons
#MEMPHIS
Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved I love yall and God bless
You still believe in an imaginary god? OUTGROW it
Good for him I remember watching him playing against my school now they comparing him to nba legends im happy for him

Re upload ??? I just watched this bro
Fits like a glove on the Grizzlies, hope they draft him
Fax, they need a new big men and I think he fits really well with shooters around him like JJJ and Bane and Ja
NO I HOPE THAT CLINGAN DOES NOT GO TO MEMPHIS, I HOPE HE GOES TO THE KINGS
@@JoyceYu-xp4ye he won’t fall that far
Edey vs Clingan is gonna be a tall order😂😂😂
Edey destroyed him already in finals and regular season.

Edey better
And with the 7th pick the memphis grizzlies select
Likely. Not necessarily a Grizzly fan but they should be relevant next year.

I’m noticing a theme with this guys videos 😂
He only likes white players it seems smh

Yea it was a stat from his one college season at Kentucky
Clearly from college
Great potential, he is only a sophomore, he needs a little more time. He will be great in the NBA.

Hawks should pick him but the Hawks are notorious for messing up in the Draft.
OKC draft him if he’s available
Am I hearing it wrong?? Did he say KAT has only attempted 8-3’s in his career?? If so, wtf is he talking about😂
was supposed to say college career
I want to see this man turn into brook Lopez I think that’s his ceiling for rn
laughable comp to be honest. clingan never shoots the 3. 2-8 from 3 this year. i can tell you dont watch college basketball?

how's he better than Edey? How did both of them when they played against each other?
He's absolutely not better than Edey, who ate him up in the Championship game, then outperformed him at the draft combine.
@@doubletroubledad1323 that's why it's mind boggling all these so call scouts, GM and media have him picked way ahead of Edey...
Yeah! A seven footer playing below the rim.

I think Donovan should have stayed for at least another year.
What else does he have to prove at the collegiate level? Also, if he stays and gets injured, he's toast.
Stay at UConn and work on his deficiencies before NBA
Bust.

All he knows is winning. So whatever your yapping about is simply void
Will not get past the Rockets at 3. Sorry Memphis fans
No way he goes top 3 😂
Trash
A rotational back-up big at best. I think his lack of foot speed on defense will expose him badly. Talk about getting cross up easily and often.
The yearly over hype of these “ WHITE “ athletes.
Oh yes, just gotta bring race into everything, eh?
